TEBBE HAUTE, IND.

Sirtnrday Morning,

Dec.

18, 1869.

Contributors occupy so much of our space, this morning, that the editor is obliged to content himself with a diminution of his customary limits. He does this cheerfully, believing that the articles contributed will be read with interest both by those who approvo and those who disapprove of them. "A fair chance for all sides" is our maxim. Truth has nothing to fear from free discussion.

Anti Repudiation.

Thir resolution passed the House of Keprestatives on Thursday with but one negative vote, that of Mr. Jokes of Ken

Resolved, that the proposition direct or indirect, to repudiate any portion of the debt, is unworthy the honor and good name of the nation, and that the House without distinction of party sets the seal of condemnation on anv,such pro position. "A L-

Republican Retrenchment. The following extract from the col uinns of the Washington .Chronicle shows signally the extent to which retrench ment has proceeded under Grant's ad ministration: "When Secretary Cox says he can do the work of the Interior Department with a force one third lcs than is now employed when Secretary Belknap reports that the officers of the Freedmen Bureau have been cut down from 901 to 158— that the number of civilians hired by the War Department has been red.iced "from •J,000 to 4,000—that an army of nearly million has been brought down to lee than 50.000 when .Secretary Bdutwell's plans are even sterner for the lessening of expenses and when the Navy and Post office Departments complete ihe surpris ing rccords by facts and figures not le.-s astounding—we gather more than, the fruits of a Republican Administration We realize that oflice is no longer a re ward for party service, and that there are other roads to fame and fortune than the paths of patronage."

This showing proves to the satisfaction of every honest mind that the present ad ministration is sternly keeping its pledges of honestv and economy.

Direct Taxation.

A very important resolution has been introduced into the House, instructing •'the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of abolishing the offices of Collectors, Assessors and other agents of the Internal Revenue Department, and of apportioning the amount of tax required to be raised from domestic sources, among the several Sta'es in proportion to their population." This is truly a sweeping'proposition, but we find some of the ablest journals in the country supporting it. The Chicago Republican ''believes it pregnant with beneficial re suits" and urges that "its adoption Would get rid of a multitude of officials largely abridge the dangerous growth of Execu live patronage abolish the inquisitorial methods which are inseparable from the existing plan of raising internal taxes drive out of the civil Kcrvice the swarm of spies and informers that vex and harms* the people and reinforce opposition to the tendency to federal centralization which is moving so rapidly. The whole cost of collecting inland revenues would be saved to the General Government without inflicting upon the several States a corresponding expense. Each of the State-! has already its separala. and adequa.c machinery for collecting laxc-i, and this could be made available, with very little, perhaps no additional outlay, levying the direct impost. Business would be set free from a great mass of vexatious restrictions winch now burden it, and deter enterprise

The flood of Demoralization which has set in upon the nation, through the intrigues of rings and systematic evasions of the assessment or payment of taxes, would be done awnv with. Indeed, the societary movement—that is, the development of civilization and industry—would' receive a new impetus, normal as it would be efficacious." For these and other rearons, which we have not space to enumerate, the Republican heartily indorses the instruction to the Committee of Ways and Means and hopes that something more practical than mere consideration will come of its investigations.

There is no doubt that our present internal revenue system is, as the Republican asserts "needlessly expensive," and very unnecessarily annoying to the people, but we do not belivc "the masses of the people would rejoice, with exceeding joy, to see it abolished, and the system of direct taxes, as provided for in the National Constitution, substituted in its place," for the simple and sufficient reason that the apportionment "of the amount of tax required to be raised from domestic sources," on the basis of population would be flagrantly unjust and unbearably oppressive to the agricultural States. Such a system would transfer to the farmers of the West a great proportion of the burden now borne by the wealthy manufacturing corporations of the East would make Indiana,for instance, shoulder much of the load now carried by Massachusetts. If this were just., in principle, it might be submitted to with some degree of cheerfulnes but it is radically wrong. Business and wealth are the true basis of national taxation, not the number of human beings who may happen to reside iu any given portion of the country. This subject was thoroughly discussed in the national canvass of 186S and there was no feature of the Democratic platform which last that party more votes in Indiana than their "direct taxation" proposition.

Symptoms of Congrsssional absanteeism arc already numerous and discouraging. There were votes, and important votes, taken in the House last Friday, for instance, while *ixty members were out of their places. This is a swindle which the public has a right to resent. These gentlemen are paid, and handsomely paid, under a contract between themselves and the people, to do a ecrtain kind and amount of work, and tliev are as much bound to attend to that work as if they had been engaged to dig potatoes at fourand sixpence a day. This is rather a bold way of putting the matter but if honorable members (bv courtesy) will not be honorable in feet, it is necessary that they should be reprimanded, and in these columns, at least, they shall be.—N.

Dr. SumtTiiEFF has been re—elected Mayor of Boston and pretty nearly all the City Council are Republican. The Democrats got out 4,197 votes, to 11,293 Republicans! Temperance got 312 and Labor Reform 197. It looks somewhat as if Boston was inclined to straight Republicanism at least her voters know when they have got a good officer, and mean to keep him. ., r*

Mails and Females Rain a Promising Young Man. From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Union, 13th.]

John A. Wallace,. Mail Agent on the Leavenworth branch between this city and Leavenworth,*waS arrested yesterday morning at Leavenwbrth, Kan.,'upon the arrival of tlie care by Captain Schuarte, Mail Supervisor ofthe District ofMissotiri The charge against him is that of abstracting letters of value from the mails. He was taken before United S:atesCommisfiioner Barker, and waiving an examination, was held to bail, the tota^mfcunt of which arfouhtedt©

He is most Respectably connected in Lawrence, and his friends and acquaintances regret that he has tftiu li?en niaSe the^ubjecw of notoriety and auspiciwi. ?The Conservative ,has a detailed account of Waflace'ji pareer, ^who, if tap, i£»rdl known not %il_v iir'^LeaYcnWrth 'arid Lawrence, but throughout Kansas, a genial, pleasant gentleman, and among his acquaintances his fall is much regretted. He is a young man, and has been running as mail agent on tne Lawrence branch for some time but recently grave rumors have been flying as to mysterious disappeareaces of money pa" To one acquainted with the mode of receipting for registered letters, it would seem that this was suicidal policy, which indeed it lias.'proVafi. fitill, by means of blank registered envelopes, with which he supplied the place of the rifled ones, and for which bogus packages lie.took receipts, he managed to throw suspicion elsewhere for a while, and was enabled to get a large amount of money from the mails.

It appears now that this system of fraud has been carried on since the middle of May* Many registered packages which were started at Lawrence never left^lhe Branch, Road,*anc( from the oast never got flirt her west than-the same road. Tracers from Lawrence never got east of route agent Wallace, and tracers from Eastern cities always disappeared be:ween here and Lawrence.

In Lawrence Wallace had an estimable wife and child in Leavenworth he was carrying 011 a furious amour with a well known nymph of expensive habits, named Tenny Wallace Frequently he would go to Lawrence and spend the night in the bosom of'liis family,, and then a_ would stop in Leavenworth and meet Miss Wallace.

again lit I

Of course Miss Wall ace was quite an expensive institution, and it is rumored that she at times received payments on account of board and lodging as. high as $100, which goes to prove that Tenny must be a most Keduciive damsel, and a lie must have been a heavy draft on the mail agent.

But all financiering of this kind on salary of S7o per month must prove a failure, and Mr. Wallace came to grief. The Branch Road and the Branch House were too much for him, and mails and females were his ruin. The branch had budded.

The criminal has evidently expected his arrest, more especially since he heard of the arrival of Colonel Schuarte, and he has made frequent inquiries for that unwelcome individual. When arrested he turned to Colonel Sehuartc and said "You must be Colonel Schuarte," which was answered affirmatively, to which he merely remarked, "Well, I am sorry." The charges on which he was arrested at Lawrence are eight in number, and three more are pending in Leavenworth. He is said to have got §1,500 out of a letter directed to the Ameriaan News Company and many smaller amounts are missing, but as yet the aggregate of his peculations is not known.

New York Gossip.

Co respondcnce Chicago Journal,]

The Richardson-McFafland tragedy continues to absorb the greater share of attention, while unmeasured abuse is still heaped upoft Revernds Beechcrand Frotlinigham. Had they squarely backed down after discovering their error, they would have escaped this censure. It is somewhat amusing to hear the comments on these ministerial worthies, uttered in some quarters. The oilier day a,, paj'ty of sports w6re berating Beecher in 0110. of tlie drinking saloons. Finally the question arose as to Beecher's religion. One thought he was a Baptist a second was confident he was a Methodist, while a third

new Mormon church in Broyklyn. At sunrise yesterday morning, an entire brigade of urchins were*let loose upon the metropolis, with pamphlets on the Richardson tragedy, and all day yesterday their shrill cries could have been heard on every street corner. "Full con fession of Mrs. McFarland, only five cents ". Full account of the great murder "Here's your liichardson and McFarland," etc., etc. Doubtless, fifty thpusand copies of these pamphlets havesb during.two days..

Mis. Calhoun, who accompanied Mrs. McFarland to Indiana, your correspond ent has known for ten years, and a more briHjant woman I have never met. She as well as Mrs. Sinclair, and all their friend, have entertained, and still entertain, the most profound confidence in the purity and goodness of Mrs. McFarlaud. What may have been the facts in the case, they have always fooked upon an abused, ill-treated wife, and yeaas ago Mrs. Calhonn made remarks to me to that effect. It would be dilticult to iind a pure, more lovely and retiring maiden than the Miss Gilbert, whose name is so unjuttly bruited of the papers in connection with this some mournful affair

McFarland's trial will doubtless expose all these parties, who shrink from notoriety, to the vulgar gaze of the public, while unfriendly sheets will pander to a morbid curiosity by endeavoring to pry into their private affairs, and lug them into print. Recorder Hackett manifested a good deal of malice in charging the Grand Jury to indict Messrs. Beecher and Frothingham for being parties to theoorisumniation of the bigamy. The animus of the charge reveals a disposition on the part of the Democrats to make partisan capital ont of the affair. But, liowever much Beecher may be censured, now let a partisan persecution be -commenced against him,and there will immediately follow n'strong reaction of public sympathy in his favor.

So far as Vice President Colfax is con cerned, systematized efforts have already been undertaken for injuring him in connection with the affair, and it cannot be denied but that the disclosures thus far made have indeed been very damaging to him. His friend here, however, are confident that he will come out all right in the long run.

POMEROY REFORMING.

There are indications that Brick Pomerov desires to reform his ways and become a better man. He has just caused to be posted up in the editorial rooms of the Democrat a notice instructing the attaches to use the word "Republican" hereafter when alluding to the party in power, instead- of "Radicals," "Abolitionists," "Black Republicans," "Nigger Worshipers," and other terms which the Democrat has rolled as a sweet morsel under its tongue. When the paper first started the World managers gave orders that tlTfr Democrat should never be mentioned in its columns, and the orders have been rigidly adhered to.

HORSE TALK.

A Clergyman with Fast Horses—a Scene at Harry Biertholfs. The New York correspondent of tlie Boston Journal recently took a drive with Dan Mace, during which they stopped at Harry Biertholfs well-known bar on the road, and he thus describes the company:

It is a curious place, for everybody "is dissected who goes by. Hallow! that's a fine nervous team!" "Yes, that's Weston of St. John's Chapel. He loves agood horse. 1 was out with him when he was Chaplain of the

Seventh Regiment." And

Dr. Weston goes dashing by inhis slouched hat and driving gloves, with a brother minister, an ultra High Churchman, at his side. "Don't you Know who that

That's Hall of the Fifth Avenue Church. Well, he can afibrd it. Six thousand gold, house rent, and percjuifcitcs thrown in." And Dr. Hall, with a pair of spanking horses, a tall, 1 arced formed man with a jockey cap oft his head and in a spider waggon, rolls out of sight toward Harlem River. Twenty years ago a Presbyterian minister in Xew York could not have kept a span of fast horses and his -pulpit besides. The world moves. There comes Corey wi»h Mountain Maid and Kentucky Mare. He preached in a little church on Murry Hill. But it is one of the most elegant chapels in New York. He Is an eager driver and loves the road. "Vanderbilt will die soon from an affection of the heart." Why so?" "Difln't vou know he gave Coerv the Mountain Jtfaid? She is worth $10,000."—-

versation with Harry. "Something to

drink? yes but the fact is, my minister is with me." "Well, invite him to take something." "'Bless me, I wouldn't do that for the world."-."Let jne see him," Hary savs. Point him oat to me." "That's him with a capon." "Pshaw! I have seen him before." Harry goes up to the divine,. and tof'the question, wifl you join 3fh- -in somethingto drink? the answer, is1: "Certainly I will," and the parties reach the bar, glasses jingle and the pulpit and the pew understand each other better. "It was along time be-

He'll go by you!" —and so the conversation continued till the teams were brought round and the parties were on the road again. The conversatien with Dan Mace about eminent horsemen I will reseve for the next letter.

The Case.of Mr.sJnlian.

From tbe,Chiaago"Ep-ibune.^ The case of Mr. Julian, a Representative in Congress from Indiana, is now before the Committee of Elections, and, we hope, will be thoroughly investigated and decided upon its legal merits, irrespective of politics. This ought to be the rule in all cases of contested elections but in this case there is not the slightest obligation of a party character resting upon any Republican to sustain Mr. Julian, beyond the strict letter if the law and the fact". It will be remembered that at the State election in October, 1868, Baker was the Republican and Hendricks the Democratic candidate for Governor of indiana, and that 'the result of the Presidential election was to be greatly influenced by the result in Indiana.— Julian was a candidate for Congress in one of the districts,and was opposed by a portion of the Republicans in every county. In his own county this opposition was so strong that, upon the full

vote

lie was defeated. In the meantime, so uncertain was the result in the State, that Republicans were not claiming Baker's election by more than 500 votes, and it was very uncertain at that. In order to secure his own election, Mr. Julian's friends among the county canvassers rejected the returns from a number of towns which, thebgh they had each given Baker a majority against Julian. His sublime selfishness culminate in the exclusion of the vote of these towns in order to elect himself, reckless of the probability that by so doing he was defeating Baker and the whole Republican State ticket, electing Hendricks, and thereby endangering the Presidential election in the succeeding Jiionth. Fortunately, and spite of this Trick, Baker was elected but the Republicans of Indiana and of the country owe Mr. Julian no thanks. In the first place, he was a dead weight upon the party in the canvass, and then, in order to secure hi's own election, risked the whole State ticket. If there was never a case of contested election before in which justice should be held superior to party, this is one. If the vote of those towns was rejectrd without causc, and without substantial legal reasons, it should bfe counted now, and the man really elected by the people should be given the seat.

Onck more we have a bill to abolish the franking privilege. We are not hopeful of its passage and yet, if the men who are to pass upon it were not absolutely the only men in the United States not to be benefited by its passage, we should have no doubt whatever in the premises. This is a hard saying. Nothing more disgracefulcouhl be attributed to Congress yet 110 other intelligible reason can be assign1 for its probable action.
